Disney dropped the new 2.5-minute "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" clip during halftime of the Monday night matchup between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings. Tickets for one of the most anticipated movies of the year, which is due out December 14-15, are already on sale.
Rian Johnson, the film director for the Episode VIII of the Star Wars saga, previously advised fans to keep away from the trailer if they don't want any spoilers.
I a legitimately torn. If you want to come in clean, absolutely avoid it.

But, as it turned out, too many of them couldn't resist the temptation — Twitter has predictably exploded since the release of the video.

Many fans became especially emotional after the appearance of Princess Leia, played by Carrie Fisher who sadly passed at the end of 2016.

Meanwhile, it gave some hope to others, who have been dreaming that Kylo Ren and Rey will start a romance — there is even a word for this union, "Reylo," comprised of the two characters' names merged in one.

Special mention should be made of porgs, the cute new creatures, which will debut in the upcoming movie.

These adorable little things stole the hearts of fans when they were shown on screen for just a few seconds during a behind-the-scenes reel shown at Disney's D23 Expo in July. Since then, porg mania has only got bigger!

Porgs are a species of sea bird with deep, soulful eyes native to the planet Ahch-To, inspired by real-life puffins.
